Dog Eaters

What makes Viral Marketing work?

Posted on 09.20.08 under Uncategorized

I don’t know! But I’m hoping to find out.

Some thoughts as of the present:

DOG EATERS has a MySpace page now. We have a banner (the three images below that can be used separately or all together as you see), and it’s being posted where html is allowed, but I’m not really sure how effective it’s going to be. At this point is seems like a numbers game — quantity over quality, all surface no depth, notches on the bed post, scalps on the belt…

In a week or so, we’ve racked up over 100 seemingly interesting friends — dozens everyday — including Jon Favreau (director of Iron Man, the movie), Harry Knowles (Ain’t it Cool), musicians, artists, movie people, and a bevy of web beauties whose interests run to comics and graphic novels (really?), but it has not really increased hits on this site or views of the DOG EATER YouTube trailer. But the hits and views haven’t gone down, so that’s probably something to cheer about.

While some projects and artists make it look easy, it’s been readily apparent that it’s very difficult to cut through the clutter, static and noise of all the other products, projects, movies, personalities, celebrities, etc clamoring for our attention (and money) on the internet. Indeed, the million dollar question is: “What does it take? Will it be the cream or scum that rises to the top?” Or is the image more important than the content?

Well, we’ll know more when the first issue of DOG EATERS comes out November 5. I’ll be keeping you posted.

DOG EATERS has joined forces with BLUE CAT!!

Posted on 09.09.08 under Uncategorized

What happens when a dog eater meets a blue cat? That question has been plaguing me all night and so I am typing this in the complete darkness at 4 AM on the lanai of a Maui condo as the waves crash against the beach…

Blue Cat Screenplay will be letting the world know of the existence of DOG EATERS and we are very happy to have them as new members of the clan.

Okay, here comes the sun… I can see my fingers, now!

Seen in Paia, Maui. I had to ask, “Hey, who cut this dog’s hair?”

Issue #2 in Diamond Previews

Posted on 08.26.08 under Uncategorized

This is what the the Diamond Preview will look like for DOG EATERS Issue #2. The misspelled name will be corrected, don’t worry!  Orders will be taken for Issue #1, October 1.  Orders for Issue #2, November 1.  Again, you will have to click a couple of times on the image to get it big enough to read.

Issue #2 Cover sneak preview!

Posted on 08.25.08 under Uncategorized

I have been told that Issue #2 turns out to be the most difficult to obtain of every mini-series because of the ordering dynamics of the retail stores.  Something about title recognition, so I’m going to try to get Issue #2 of DOG EATERS as much exposure as I can and see if we can get pre-orders and head that problem off at the pass.

Issue #2 comes out December 2008.


Pictured are Tommy; Rose, the local party girl; and Bronco, the tyrant of Three Palms.

I was asked why you can see the outline of Rose’s nipples. The answer: because she wants you to see them!
